(Yahoo!News) Picture a grim police line-up with five young African American men in stereotypical “thug” garb, and a goat. That’s just the opening shot.

PepsiCo has announced it is pulling its new ad for Moutain Dew after a storm of criticism this week. Social commentator Dr. Boyce Watkins wrote on his blog that the spot was “arguably the most racist commercial in history.” He continues, “Mountain Dew has set a new low for corporate racism. Their decision to lean on well-known racial stereotypes is beyond disgusting. This doesn’t even include the fact that the company has put black men on par with animals.”
